Social Media, I am the Egg Man, they are the Egg Men, I am the
Walrus

In 1967 The Beatles released a cynical political record about the
establishment "I am the Walrus" and today we are still at the
same point, regarding a senseless society driven by political
corruption, corporate greed and ignorance.

The great plague of today
however, surrounding these two protagonists, is that now they threaten
"free will" and "free speech" pitting the world of Social Media and
Real News that are both on the same side believe it or not, against the
establishment in 2018, these being corrupt authoritarian leaderships
and corporate thug empires.

With regards to the lyrics of this classic political pop sound,
regarding Donald Trump the chorus should be "I am the Ape Man, they are
the Ape Men" as chants continue to ring out across Trump voters to
"make america great again" by members of the dog eat dog culture in
america, and other parts of the world.

One thing that Charles Darwin's
Book teaches us, for all those who can read, this excluding the utterly
stupid and mindless ignorant voters of Donald Trump. That the evolution
of the primate species was not as a result of "brut force and
ignorance", but from those little things we know as "grey cells" in the
brain developing intelligence.

Now there exists a war of attrition, and
it includes the truth and technology, as the likes of Trump and other
corrupt Dictators with the mentality of Neanderthal, try to drown out
freedom of expression and opinion with a mass of noise we know to be
outright lies and propaganda. Whereas all of which we express and say
through social media discourse, will eventually provide from binary, a
mathematical calculus, that will eventually lead to a formula and
logical equation of conclusion, we know to be truth and the
establishing of the facts, in other words what is morally right from
what is wrong!

The great danger surrounding the threat to our Social Media Networks,
News and Media, is that we have seen this all before in Germany, with
the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler, literally dividing and
brain washing a Nation. Now today the same events are happening in
America, and already Trump is voicing changes to the Law, regarding the
free press and liable laws, to protect he and his rich mates, that we
can best describe as nothing more than Corporate Thugs, driven by greed
and ignorance.

On top of those threats by Trump and his Republican Legislators, Sir
Tim Berners-Lee inventor of the World Wide Web, myself, and many others
have been fighting and pushing back on Governments wanting to legislate
the World Wide Web and Internet for some years. But now with the Senate
and House controlled by Republicans, there is a real possibility such
changes to the Law in the USA will start to be slid in other policies
and acts, and introduced under another deceitful guise. Even the
British Government ran by Conservatives, are trying to legislate the
Freedom of Information Act, among other Laws on Statute.

These actions and acts will take society down a very slippery and
dangerous road. It will mean the likes of Grenfell Tower, and Child
Abuse Investigations, Elderly Neglect, Wilful Negligence of Local
Government Authorities, would all be covered up and hidden from the
general public regarding such wicked social injustices, and even the
News and Media would be unable to cover and investigate with confidence
any breaking story that is in the public interest.

The days of freedom is truly under threat from corrupt leaders,
dictators and regimes. The most detested leader in the world today is
now an elected President in the United States of America. Such narrowed
vision of "America First" is not a sustainable proposition, for his
current actions is now isolating America with the rest of the World.
Never did I think in my day, I would consider the prospect of seeing
America becoming a Rogue Nation. Even economically the ideals and
values of this very ignorant individual is not coherent in the
interests of America, or its citizens, for wealth is only achieved with
the supply and trading of goods, and in a global economy today, the USA
needs to export products and services that they produce.

The world of Social Media and Social Networks is a technology
pre-cursor to better political governance around the world. Whether
politicians are getting it, or corporate empires, I cannot say. But I
know after my criticism of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg certainly gets it,
and now realizing the great burden of responsibly he has with his
organization to shape a better world for all and the coming together,
hence recent changes to algorithms. For the reality is at the end of
the day, there is a populations of over 7 billion citizens on this
Earth, plus other life forms. Through technology our only hope for
survival as a species, along with other miracles of evolution is to
reach for the skies using technology. So we need a coming together, so
our greatest minds can try to unravel the challenges of space travel
and energy.

The establishment in the form of corrupt regimes, and corporate
empires, owned by the social elite is not the answer, or the future.
They will want to get into bed with corrupt governments, and
politicians, with an agenda of self preservation. This is the route
Trump is going down, where I am almost convinced, Trump and his other
corrupt Republican cronies want a war, to destroy emerging economies
and nations that are prepared to unite and embrace a modern world. But
the agenda of the establishment seems to be, to bomb the hell out of
these nations and send them back to the dark ages, along with reducing
the population of the world.

This may sound extreme or way out, but just think about their options.
This is exactly what Hitler wanted to do with his so called Aryan race,
the extermination of all other citizens, cultures, and societies.
Social Media and Social Networks are the future, but the establishment
does not like it, or want it, for then they lose control of backward
doctrines referred to as capitalism in its extremist form, driven by
corporate empires, banking institutions and market trading entities,
all of which are in bed with the political elite.

The breaking down of this archaic mentality could lead to a better
world for all. There is evidence in history that political intellect
can work, as was the case found in Greece in the time of Socrates,
where women were equal, and society all had an input to social and
economic continuity in the interests of social justice.

Some 10 plus years ago I wrote an article on the businesses, where I
described them as having to be "new era enterprises" this being the
future, where companies sat at the heart of communities and were
environmentally friendly, even education in concert, teaching live time
projects due to technology advances evolving faster than the
curriculum's. Even the introduction of crèches with flexible working
hours, including the banking of time. Businesses producing products and
services that were long term sustainable items, using green organic
materials. Today many of those ideas are being adopted and welcomed,
but take time to work through before such concepts become efficient.
Social Media Networks are no different and very much in an evolutionary
stage, and this will produce a degree of chaos, even regarding the
concept and purpose.

Only now businesses and users are becoming to understand the synergy of
Social Media, the pluses and the pitfalls, as explained in my book "Social
Media The Sum of Everything Equals Zero", a title I might add very
few folk get, as this relates to evolution and quantum mechanics, the
calculations of such phenomena resulting in zero, for such physics and
science is infinite. But in the book I try to help explain the purpose
and how it can benefit both enterprise and user, but with the
application of balance and the duty of Social Media Networks to be open
and accountable, self policing, to avoid legislation, that would only
serve to the detriment, placing borders across the World Wide Web, due
to different legislative acts, and ideas from one state to the very
next.

The advancements of any technology requires balance, but the uniting of
the world can be achieved when we realize from social media we all have
more in common. There is no place in our modern day society for killers
and murderers in power. It is time to cast these vile leaders and
individuals out!
